Hello, here is my next question. This time I wanna talk about triple buffering.

In the manual I can read:

"This can increase the frame rate in fullscreen mode because it disables synchronization to the monitor frequency (vsync), but consumes more video memory for a third screen buffer, and can produce 'tearing' artifacts on some systems."

But if I read wikipedia (german version) about this topic, or read what poeple are saying about triple buffering, I can only read that it does not have any tearing artifacts. Some people are saying, that most games alread using triple buffer (don't know if this is true).

So I ask myself if this was only a note for older graphic cards in the manual (older than 5 years)?

Has anyone experience with triple buffer problems in combination with game studio?

It does not produce tearing artifacts on digital momitors that buffer the image. It could produce tearing on old CRT monitors.

So the manual remark was a little outdated and there is indeed no disadvantage to triple buffering nowadays, except for the additional memory footprint.
